Description
Main had played the part of Mrs Martin on Broadway where the part had much tougher language. The mother - son confrontation in the film - though toned down - is still the most powerful scene. Mrs. Martin slaps her son and then condemns him by exclaiming: "You're a killer, murderer, butcher, for sure. Just leave us alone! You never brought nothin' but trouble!" "Baby Face, much weaker than he seems, still needs maternal love. Devastated by her ferocious rejection, he loses his cocky swagger, crumbles up and shrinks off."
Director William Wyler was famous for his multiple takes, waiting for that 'accident ' to happen that Orson Welles talked about. Main slapped Bogart for real several times.
